Ladies and gentlemen, a major announcement for Brayside Crush:
Chapter 13 comes out on January 17th.
Chapter 14 comes out on January 31st.
Last but not least, the FINAL chapter of Brayside Crush will see the light at the most fitting day for the series:
February 14, 2016
There will be a present, one of a literary nature. It's not everything I wanted to give but it's something.
Give me about a week or so. It's coming!
I have a major announcement.
Just recently, I have written the ending to Brayside Crush. The story is finally complete.
Grant you, the remaining chapters are just drafts. There's a lot of fixing to do but I no longer have to worry about adding any new major content. While I obviously can't give away everything, this much I can reveal:
This has been a rough month for me. I won't go into details but let's just say it derailed a lot of plans I had for the rest of the year.
Unfortunately, that includes Brayside Crush.
Finally making some headway again. I just finished the first draft for Brayside Crush Chapter 12. There's really only two major events left to write, the day of the festival itself and the aftermath. That means I will be able to put out at least Chapter 10 sometime in October once it goes through my editing.
Well, not exactly.
Unfortunately, a lot of RL stuff got in the way during August but most of it I've cleared. I actually have an art trade that has me writing a non-pony story in return. That I'll need to finish first but after that, most of my attention will be on finishing Brayside Crush. I'm not optimistic about getting a chapter out this month but more so finishing the series by year's end.
There's some good news and bad news.
First off, yes, Chapter 8 came out last Saturday. I had just wrapped up the last of the edits the night before and decided to release it in time for the Memorial Day weekend as a surprise. That and I just wanted to stop fiddling around with it, especially with the AJ/Blitz storyline. There was plans for a lot more but there's too many things to juggle already and the story's pace is slow enough as is.
I'll regret pushing myself like this but Chapter 7 is coming out April 25th.
Hi fellow readers!
I had hoped to have Crush Chapter 6 edited and ready to go by the end of February. No such luck. I must have struggled writing it since I'm finding it uneven and sloppy. If I think I can finish cleaning up the chapter by month's end, I'll update this blog. Otherwise, I'll push the release date until April.
On a related note, I've written up to Chapter 11. If I had to guess, I'm about 70% done with the story.
For the final post of the year, three pieces of news.
1. Brayside Chapter 5 is pretty much finished save for editing. Because it had been part of Chapter 4, I had to add more story to it just so it wasn't excessively short. Expect it mid to late January. Big hint on what's in it: certain scenes I lifted directly from two of my comics. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, get caught up!
Today is a good day for I have brought the following presents:
1. Brayside Crush, Chapter 4 - That's right. After a small hiatus, a quite long chapter is here!
2. Return to Flight (revised), Chapter 5 - One scene from the original gets a major overhaul.
3. A holiday comic: It's A Blossom World
Now hurry and enjoy your gifts or you'll upset a certain redhead:
Right now, I'm doing everything I can to finish editing Chapter 4 of Brayside Crush so I can release it on December 19th. I can say this much; this forced me to split the one chapter I had written into two. It might end up being a good thing since where I cut it off makes it a cliffhanger ending.
Well, okay. You might be shaking fists at me... and probably Surfing Blossom.
Some very good news!
Just now, I just went through the last major edits of Return to Flight: Relaunch. It's all done. There's nothing more I want to alter with story or dialogue.
Blossom made me do it. She wasn't waiting until her debut in Crush Chapter 3.
A few days ago, I wrapped up editing Chapter 2. Therefore, I decided to release it on August 15th. As for Chapter 3, I'm hoping for the end of September. Everything after that becomes muddled because I cannot even think of putting out Chapter 4 without putting out the revised Return to Flight in its entirety. Unfortunately, that is still not finished in terms of editing and there's quite a bit to go with that project. It's a major roadblock that I'll need to tackle, eventually.
